And the city slickers arrive having won every one of the last 13 meetings between the sides in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1220907971ydp20e61eefMsoNormal\">Chris Harris and Berwick-born Leon Flint are the Bandits\u2019 previous two captains while Lee Complin and Paul Starke both had hugely successful spells in the yellow and black while reserve Ace Pijper began his professional career with the club\u2019s National Development side, the Bullets, as a 15-year-old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1220907971ydp20e61eefMsoNormal\">Even those with no Berwick connection \u2013 Steve Worrall and James Pearson \u2013 have scored freely there in the past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1220907971ydp20e61eefMsoNormal\"><em>\u201cWhile not being disrespectful to Workington or the Border Trophy, they were useful warm-ups but our season starts here,\u201d<\/em> Dickson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1220907971ydp20e61eefMsoNormal\"><i>\u201cI don\u2019t expect us to score 56 points again this week \u2013 but wouldn\u2019t turn it down \u2013 but we have the benefit of two meetings under our belts and there were very promising signs last weekend.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1220907971ydp20e61eefMsoNormal\"><i>\u201cIt was a real seven-man effort against Workington. Lewi (Kerr) and Rory (Schlein) had a middle of the road <span dir=\"ltr\">night on Saturday<\/span> but the other five scored 45 points between them. On Sunday they very much led from the front and saw us over the line in Cumbria.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1220907971ydp20e61eefMsoNormal\"><i>\u201cThat is how it needs to be against the Tigers. Everyone knows their job and if we do it to the best of our ability then we are a match for any side, including the reigning play-off champions.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1220907971ydp20e61eefMsoNormal\"><i>\u201cGlasgow come with plenty of track knowledge and that winning streak behind them but this is a new Bandits side and one which doesn\u2019t carry the scars of previous losses.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1220907971ydp20e61eefMsoNormal\"><i>\u201cOne thing for certain is that Glasgow fans will travel in their hordes and there will be a great atmosphere inside the stadium.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1220907971ydp20e61eefMsoNormal\"><b>Bandits:<\/b> Lewi Kerr, Danyon Hume, Jye Etheridge, Drew Kemp, Rory Schlein, Freddy Hodder, Bastian Borke<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1220907971ydp20e61eefMsoNormal\"><b>Tigers: <\/b>Chris Harris, James Pearson, Leon Flint, Paul Starke, Steve Worrall, Lee Complin, Ace Pijper<\/p>\n<p><b>words by Berwick Speedway &#8211; Image by Taz McDougall<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Berwick boss Stewart Dickson has challenged new signing Drew Kemp to make this the year he jump starts his career.
